Eligibility





Exhibit 10.12




          All Employees are eligible for Awards under this Plan. The Committee shall determine the type or types of Awards to be made under this Plan and shall designate from time to time the Employees who are to be granted Awards under this Plan. Current and former employees of CSC are also eligible for Spinoff Awards under the Plan and former employees of SRA who became employees of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries in connection with the SRA Merger are eligible for grants of SRA Rollover Options under the Plan.
Section 4 
Shares Subject to Awards
          4.1 Common Stock Available for Awards. Subject to the provisions of Section 18 hereof, there shall be available for Awards under this Plan granted wholly or partly in Common Stock (including rights or Options that may be exercised for or settled in Common Stock) an aggregate of (i) 10,100,000 shares of Common Stock, plus (ii) an additional number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to all Spinoff Awards and SRA Rollover Options outstanding immediately following the Spinoff and SRA Merger, respectively (collectively, the “Maximum Share Limit”). Within the Maximum Share Limit (and excluding any Spinoff Awards and SRA Rollover Options which shall not be subject to subparagraphs (a), (b) or (c) below),
     (a) no more than 10,100,000 shares may be used for Options and SARs (the “Option and SARs Limit”);
     (b) no more than 5,050,000 shares may be used for Awards other than Options and SARs (the “Full Value Award Limit”); and
     (c) Each Option and SAR granted shall reduce each of the Maximum Share Limit and the Option and SARs Limit by one share, and the Full Value Award Limit by one-half share; and each Award other than an Option or SAR granted shall reduce each of the Maximum Share Limit and the Option and SARs Limit by two shares, and the Full Value Award Limit by one share.
          Such shares shall be reserved from authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares and from shares which have been reacquired by the Company. The Board and the appropriate officers of the Company shall from time to time take whatever actions are necessary to file any required documents with governmental authorities, stock exchanges and transaction reporting systems to ensure that shares of Common Stock are available for issuance pursuant to Awards.
          4.2 Share Counting. If an Award (other than a Spinoff Award or SRA Rollover Option which shall not be subject to the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 4.2, other than the final sentence hereof) expires or is terminated, cancelled or forfeited, the shares of Common Stock associated with the expired, terminated, cancelled or forfeited Award shall again be available for Awards under this Plan. In the case of an Award that is an Option or SAR that expires, terminates, is cancelled or is forfeited, the Maximum Share Limit and the Option and SARs Limit shall each be increased by one share of Common Stock and the Full Value Award Limit shall be increased by one-half share of Common Stock for each such Option or SAR. In the case of an Award other than an Option or SAR that expires, terminates, is cancelled or is forfeited, the Maximum Share Limit and the Option and SARs Limit shall each be increased by two shares of Common Stock and the Full Value Award Limit shall be increased by one share of Common Stock for each such Award that is not an Option or SAR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall adopt such share counting rules as are required for Incentive Stock Options to comply with the requirements set forth in Code Section 422. Shares of Common Stock associated with an expired, terminated, cancelled or forfeited Spinoff Award or SRA Rollover Option shall not became available again for issuance under this Plan.
          In addition, the following principles shall apply in determining the number of shares under any applicable limit within the Maximum Share Limit:
     (a) Shares of Common Stock that are tendered by a Participant or withheld as full or partial payment to satisfy minimum withholding taxes shall not become available again for issuance under this Plan;





Exhibit 10.12




     (b) Shares of Common Stock that are tendered by a Participant or withheld as full or partial payment for the Exercise Price of an Award shall not become available again for issuance under this Plan;
     (c) Shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon grant of an SAR, to the extent the number of reserved shares of Common Stock exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon exercise or settlement of such SAR, shall not become available again for issuance under this Plan;
     (d) Awards that by their terms may only be settled in cash shall not reduce the Maximum Share Limit under this Plan; and
     (e) If cash is issued in lieu of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award, such shares shall not become available again for issuance under this Plan.
          4.3 Fiscal Year Limitations on Grants of Awards. The following limitations shall apply to any Awards made hereunder, other than to Spinoff Awards and SRA Rollover Options which shall not be subject to the following limits:
     (a) No Employee may be granted during any Fiscal Year Awards consisting of Options or SARs that are exercisable for more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock;
     (b) No Employee may be granted during any Fiscal Year Stock Awards covering or relating to more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the limitation set forth in this subsection (b), together with the limitation set forth in subsection (a), being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Stock-Based Award Limitations”); and
     (c) No Employee may be granted during any Fiscal Year (1) Cash Awards or (2) Restricted Stock Unit Awards or Performance Unit Awards that may be settled solely in cash having a value determined on the Grant Date in excess of $10,000,000.

Section 6 
Awards
          6.1 Grants. The Committee, in its absolute discretion, may grant all Awards under this Plan from time to time, provided however, that the Committee shall not have the right, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, to

          6.2 Award Agreements. Each Award shall be embodied in an Award Agreement, which shall contain such terms, conditions and limitations as shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and, if required by the Committee, shall be signed by the Participant to whom the Award is granted and by an Authorized Officer for and on behalf of the Company.

Upon the termination of employment by a Participant who is an Employee, any unexercised, unvested or unpaid Awards shall be treated as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or in any other written agreement the Company has entered into with the Participant. For Spinoff Awards granted to Participants who remain active employees of CSC after the Spinoff, except as otherwise provided in the applicable 





Exhibit 10.12




Award Agreement, the Participant will be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of his or her Spinoff Award when he or she terminates employment from CSC.
          6.3 Vesting Limitations. Except as otherwise provided below, any Stock Award, Option or Stock Appreciation Right (other than any Spinoff Award or SRA Rollover Option which shall not be subject to the following limits) that

          6.4 Payment of Awards. Payment of Awards may be made in the form of cash or Common Stock, or a combination thereof, and may include such restrictions as the Committee shall determine, including, but not limited to, in the case of Common Stock, restrictions on transfer and forfeiture provisions.

Exhibit 10.12




          Unless otherwise stated, a Performance Goal applicable to a Qualified Performance Award need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria).
          (b) Interpretation; Code Requirements. In interpreting Plan provisions applicable to Qualified Performance Awards, it is the intent of this Plan to conform with the standards of Code Section 162(m) and Treasury Regulation § 1.162-27(e)(2)(i), and the Committee in establishing such goals and interpreting this Plan shall be guided by such provisions. Prior to the payment of any compensation based on the achievement of Performance Goals applicable to Qualified Performance Awards, the Committee must certify in writing that applicable Performance Goals and any of the material terms thereof were, in fact, satisfied. For this purpose, approved minutes of the Committee meeting in which the certification is made shall be treated as such written certification. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any Qualified Performance Awards made pursuant to this Plan shall be determined by the Committee.
          13.3 Adjustment of Performance Awards. The Committee may provide in any such Performance Award in writing in advance that the results may be adjusted to include or exclude particular factors, including but not limited to any of the following events that occur during a Performance Period:
     (a) asset write-downs;
     (b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements;
     (c) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions affecting reported results;
     (d) any reorganization and restructuring programs;
     (e) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to shareholders for the applicable Fiscal Year;
     (f) acquisitions or divestitures;
     (g) foreign exchange gains and losses; and
     (h) settlement of hedging activities.
          Only Awards that are not intended to qualify as Qualified Performance Awards may be adjusted upward in the discretion of the Committee. The Committee may retain the discretion to adjust any Performance Awards downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as the Committee determines.
Section 14  
Change of Control
          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, unless (1) an Award Agreement shall specify otherwise or (2) the agreement effectuating the Change in Control provides for the assumption or substitution of Awards, upon the date of a Change in Control:
     (a) all outstanding Options that have not vested in full on or prior thereto shall be fully vested and exercisable;
     (b) all restrictions applicable to outstanding Restricted Stock shall lapse in full;
     (c) all outstanding Restricted Stock Units that have not vested in full on or prior thereto shall be fully vested;





Exhibit 10.12




     (d) if the Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period, all Performance Awards shall be considered earned and payable at their target value, prorated for the portion of the Performance Period that has elapsed and shall be immediately paid or settled; and
     (e) if the Change in Control occurs after the Performance Period, all Performance Awards shall, as soon as administratively practicable, be paid or settled based on the actual achievement of the applicable performance goals
Section 15  
Taxes
          The Company shall have the right to deduct applicable taxes from any Award payment and withhold, at the time of delivery or vesting of cash or shares of Common Stock under this Plan, an appropriate amount of cash or number of shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof for payment of required withholding taxes or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes; provided, however, that the number of shares of Common Stock withheld for payment of required withholding taxes must equal no more than the required minimum withholding taxes. The Committee may also permit withholding to be satisfied by the transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock theretofore owned by the holder of the Award with respect to which withholding is required. If shares of Common Stock are used to satisfy tax withholding, such shares shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value when the tax withholding is required to be made.
Section 16 
Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination
          The Board may amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Plan (and the Committee may amend an Award Agreement) for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law, except that no amendment or alteration that would adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any Award previously granted to such Participant shall be made without the consent of such Participant.
          No amendment or alteration shall be effective prior to its approval by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is otherwise required by applicable legal requirements or the requirements of the securities exchange on which the Company’s stock is listed, including any amendment that:
     (a) expands the types of Awards available under this Plan;
     (b) materially increases the number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under this Plan;
     (c) materially expands the classes of persons eligible for Awards under this Plan;
     (d) materially extends the term of this Plan;
     (e) materially changes the method of determining the Exercise Price of Options;
     (f) deletes or limits any provisions of this Plan that prohibit the repricing of Options or SARs; or
     (g) decreases any minimum vesting requirements for any Stock Award.
Section 17  
Assignability
          Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and expressly provided for in an Award Agreement, no Award or any other benefit under this Plan shall be assignable or otherwise transferable except (1) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or (2) pursuant to a domestic relations order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction that is not contrary to the terms and conditions of this Plan or applicable Award and in a form acceptable to the Committee. The Committee may prescribe and include in applicable Award Agreements other restrictions on transfer. Any attempted assignment of an Award or 





Exhibit 10.12




any other benefit under this Plan in violation of this Section 17 shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Award may be transferred for value or consideration.
Section 18  
Adjustments
          18.1 Outstanding Awards. The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the capital stock of the Company or its business or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock (whether or not such issue is prior to, on a parity with or junior to the Common Stock) or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding of any kind, whether or not of a character similar to that of the acts or proceedings enumerated above.
          18.2 Plan Adjustments
     (a) Subdivision or Consolidation. In the event of any subdivision or consolidation of outstanding shares of Common Stock, declaration of a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or other stock split, then:
     (i) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under this Plan and the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to specific types of Awards as described in Section 4;
     (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Awards;
     (iii) the exercise price or other price in respect of such Awards;
     (iv) the appropriate Fair Market Value and other price determinations for such Awards; and
     (v) any other limitations contained within this Plan shall each be proportionately adjusted by the Committee as appropriate to reflect such transaction.
     (b) Recapitalizations, Reorganizations, etc. In the event of any other recapitalization or capital reorganization of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation or entity, the adoption by the Company of any plan of exchange affecting the Common Stock or any distribution to holders of Common Stock of securities or property (other than normal cash dividends or dividends payable in Common Stock), the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments to:
     (i) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under this Plan and the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to specific types of Awards as described in Section 4;
     (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Awards;
     (iii) the exercise price or other price in respect of such Awards;
     (iv) the appropriate Fair Market Value and other price determinations for such Awards; 
     (v) the Stock-Based Award Limitations; and 
     (vi) any other limitations contained within this Plan;
provided that such adjustments shall only be such as are necessary to maintain the proportionate interest of the holders of the Awards and preserve, without exceeding, the value of such Awards.
          18.3 Award Adjustments. In the event a Change in Control occurs and the Company is not the surviving entity, the Committee may make such adjustments to Awards or other provisions for the disposition of Awards as it deems equitable, and shall be authorized, in its discretion, to:
     (a) provide for the substitution of a new Award or other arrangement (which, if applicable, may be exercisable for such property or stock as the Committee determines, including stock of another company) 





Exhibit 10.12




for an Award or the assumption of the Award (and for awards not granted under this Plan), regardless of whether in a transaction to which Code Section 424(a) applies;
     (b) provide, prior to the transaction, for the acceleration of the vesting and exercisability of, or lapse of restrictions with respect to, the Award and, if the transaction is a cash merger, provide for the termination of any portion of the Award that remains unexercised at the time of such transaction;
     (c) provide for the acceleration of the vesting and exercisability of an Award and the cancellation thereof in exchange for such payment as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines is a reasonable approximation of the value thereof;
     (d) cancel any Awards and direct the Company to deliver to the Participants who are the holders of such Awards cash in an amount that the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion is equal to the Fair Market Value of such Awards as of the date of such event, which, in the case of any Option, shall be the amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of such date over the per-share exercise price for such Option (for the avoidance of doubt, if such exercise price is less than such Fair Market Value, the Option may be canceled for no consideration or for such consideration that the Committee shall determine or as provided by the agreement effectuating an event described in this Section 18.3); or
     (e) cancel Awards that are Options and give the Participants who are the holders of such Awards notice and opportunity to exercise prior to such cancellation.
          18.4 Compliance with Code Section 409A. No adjustment or substitution pursuant to this Section 18 shall be made in a manner that results in noncompliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable.
Section 19  
Restrictions
          No Common Stock or other form of payment shall be issued with respect to any Award unless the Company shall be satisfied based on the advice of its counsel that such issuance will be in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock delivered under this Plan (to the extent that such shares are so evidenced) may be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or transaction reporting system upon which the Common Stock is then listed or to which it is admitted for quotation and any applicable federal or state securities law. The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed upon such certificates (if any) to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
Section 20  
Unfunded Plan
          This Plan is unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants who are entitled to cash, Common Stock or rights thereto under this Plan, any such accounts shall be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by cash, Common Stock or rights thereto, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the Company, the Board or the Committee be deemed to be a trustee of any cash, Common Stock or rights thereto to be granted under this Plan. Any liability or obligation of the Company to any Participant with respect to an Award of cash, Common Stock or rights thereto under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created by this Plan and any Award Agreement, and no such liability or obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company. None of the Company, the Board or the Committee shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation that may be created by this Plan. With respect to this Plan and any Awards granted hereunder, Participants are general and unsecured creditors of the Company and have no rights or claims except as otherwise provided in this Plan or any applicable Award Agreement.





Exhibit 10.12




Section 21  
Code Section 409A
          21.1 Awards. Awards made under this Plan are intended to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A, and ambiguous provisions hereof, if any, shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent. No payment, benefit or consideration shall be substituted for an Award if such action would result in the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if any Plan provision or Award under this Plan would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Code Section 409A, that Plan provision or Award shall be reformed, to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A, to avoid imposition of the additional tax, and no such action shall be deemed to adversely affect the Participant’s rights to an Award.
          21.2 Settlement Period. Unless the Committee provides otherwise in an Award Agreement, each Restricted Stock Unit Award, Performance Unit Award or Cash Award (or portion thereof if the Award is subject to a vesting schedule) shall be settled no later than the 15th day of the third month after the end of the first calendar year in which the Award (or such portion thereof) is no longer subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. If the Committee determines that a Restricted Stock Unit Award, Performance Unit Award or Cash Award is intended to be subject to Code Section 409A, the applicable Award Agreement shall include terms that are designed to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A.
          21.3 Specified Employees. If the Participant is identified by the Company as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) on the date on which the Participant has a “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), any Award payable or settled on account of a separation from service that is deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A shall be paid or settled on the earliest of (i) the first business day following the expiration of six months from the Participant’s separation from service, (ii) the date of the Participant’s death, or (iii) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
Section 22 
Award Termination, Forfeiture and Disgorgement
          The Committee shall have full power and authority to determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances any Award shall be terminated or forfeited, or the Participant should be required to disgorge to the Company any gains attributable to the Award. Such circumstances may include, without limitation, the following actions by a Participant:
     (a) competing with the Company or participating in any enterprise that competes with the Company;
     (b) using or disclosing, other than as expressly authorized by the Company or a Subsidiary, any confidential business information or trade secrets that the Participant obtains during the course of his or her employment with the Company or any Subsidiary; and
     (c) after the Participant is no longer employed by the Company or any Subsidiary:
     (i) soliciting, with respect to any of the services or products that the Company or any Subsidiary then provides to customers, any person or entity whom the Participant knows to be a customer of the Company or any Subsidiary, or whose business the Participant solicited on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary while employed by it,
     (ii) soliciting or hiring any person who is then an Employee, or
     (iii) taking any action that, in the judgment of the Committee, is not in the best interests of the Company.
          Additionally, any Awards granted pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback policy that is adopted by, or applicable to, the Company.





Exhibit 10.12




Section 23 
Awards to Non-U.S. Employees
          Awards may be granted to Employees who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States, or both, on such terms and conditions different from those applicable to Awards to Employees employed in the United States as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable in order to recognize differences in local law or tax policy. The Committee also may impose conditions on the exercise or vesting of Awards in order to minimize the Company’s obligation with respect to tax equalization for Employees on assignments outside their home country.
Section 24 
Governing Law
          This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by mandatory provisions of the Code or the securities laws of the United States, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada.
Section 25 
Right to Continued Service or Employment
          Nothing in this Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate any Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the capacity in which he is employed or otherwise serves the Company or its Subsidiaries.
Section 26 
Term
          This Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date. This Plan shall continue in effect for a term of 10 years commencing on the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated by action of the Board.
Section 27 
Usage
          Words used in this Plan in the singular shall include the plural and in the plural the singular, and the gender of words used shall be construed to include whichever may be appropriate under any particular circumstances of the masculine, feminine or neuter genders.
Section 28 
Headings
          The headings in this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Plan.
